Interesting concept. What would have made the execution better?
Well, the ants and the brown spots on the crouton are really close to the same color. So maybe you needed some lighting angle that would bring the ants out more. Otherwise they are kind of getting lost.
Maybe a dark bg would have worked better. More contrast.
Your shot is grainy. Which doesn't make sense because the DSC-85 is a really nice camera. Is this a tiny crop? Could you have gotten closer and cropped less? What would a shot looked like of one of the corners with an ant HUGE?
I like your suggestion about a penny for scale. Definitely would have tied it into 'real life' better.
I personally would also have probably shot it from a 'weirder' angle. I would have taken out of the box the absolutely squarest most perfect crouton in there, so the geometry would be impossible to miss. Maybe even gone in closer on an ant.
Not for me. The ants can have it. Wish it had been in a little better focus so the ants would really stand out. Especially the one falling off and the one laying on it's back. Looks like it wasn't good for them either. Nice photo.
eeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. I love bugs and I see a square so I'll give you a 7. I think this shot would work better if the whole (crouton?) was if focus. Jacko. 7
Composition: Good
Technical: Personally more DOF would be nice
Meets challenge: Yes
Overall impression: Really interesting pic, I'd just like to see more of it
